Secret Garden Tour

Backyards in a town as crowded as Hoboken? Mark your calendars; Hoboken's annual Secret Garden Tour is a month away.

On June 1st, the Hoboken Historical Museum presents its much-anticipated guided walking tour of some of Hoboken's most beautiful "secret" gardens. According to the New York Times, this year eight to ten gardens will be featured on the tour, including one with a patio, a koi pond, and a deeply shaded garden planted with holly, climbing hydrangea, ferns, hostas and bleeding hearts.

The guided tour will leave from the Hoboken Museum at 1301 Hudson Street every half-hour from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 1st. Tickets are $30, with children under 13 for free, and all benefits go to the Hoboken Museum. Advance tickets can be bought for $25 by calling (201) 656-2240.
